Configuration for Built-in bsnapshot Support

Your Backup Job and FileSet should be defined as:

 Job {
  Name = "Quobyte"
  Client = storage-fd
  FileSet = quobyte
  ...
 }

 FileSet {
  Name = quobyte

  # Enable bsnapshot support for Quobyte volumes
  Enable Snapshot = yes

  Include {
   Options {
    Signature = sha1
    # Include all subvolumes
    onefs = no
   }
  File = /quobyte
}

Access to the Quobyte cluster can be configured in the /opt/bacula/etc/bsnapshot.conf bsnapshot configuration file.

root# cat /opt/bacula/etc/bsnapshot.conf
env="QUOBYTE_API=http://10.10.10.17:7860"
env="QUOBYTE_USER=admin"
env="QUOBYTE_PASSWORD=Thisisasecurepassword"

Note

Refer to the Quobyte documentation to use an API Key if needed.

In this example, all Quobyte volumes are available under the /quobyte directory.

It is possible to backup a subset of volumes or tenants by adapting the Fileset configuration:

FileSet {
 Name = quobyte_all_tenants

 # Enable Snapshot support for Quobyte
 Enable Snapshot = yes

 Include {
  Options {
   Compression = zstd
   Signature = sha1
   onefs = no
  }
 File = /quobyte/tenant_1
 File = /quobyte/tenant_2
}

 FileSet {
  Name = quobyte_tenant_1_vol1

  # Enable Snapshot support for Quobyte
  Enable Snapshot = yes

  Include {
   Options {
    Signature = Sha1
  }
  File = /quobyte/tenant_1/vol1
}

Job output example using the bsnapshot plugin on a Quobyte volume:
